âBrother, I think I should go instead.â Dylan smiled.
Kavan frowned. âAre you worried that Iâd make the treasure my own, big brother?â
âWhy would you? And why would I think that? But Iâve been to that house, and Iâve seen that punk. Itâll
be easier for me to carry this out. Iâll just go in your stead.â
Lauren then spoke up. âOh, Kavan, youâre usually pretty clumsy, you know? This is a treasure left by an
expert, so itâs not a simple task. Just let your brother do this, just in case. You can stay here and wait
for the good news.â
The two brothers and the woman kept bickering over this to the point they almost started fighting.
âEnough!â
âIâm not dead yet, you know? Iâll personally take up the task!â Shawn determined. âKhloe, follow me to
capture that punk later in the evening. â
âGrandpa, uhm⦠You wonât kill him, right?â Khloe asked
âThat depends on how much heâs willing to cooperate,â Shawn replied.

Just as the Yggdrasills had made up their minds to deal with Alex at night, Alex had just finished eating
the meal Dory cooked.
Currently, he held his daughter, Bubbles, in his arms as he sat in the wheelchair.
Dory was in charge of moving him around, hence she helped push him out of the house.
Since this was the first time they visited this foreign cultivation city, Alex was excited to look around. He
could also think of methods to leave this place and get back to America.
Within moments, Alex managed to gather quite a lot of information from Dory.
She then asked, âYou⦠Youâre not a refugee from North Cali Magnum City, are you, Mister?â
After Alex traded her contract with a pill, Dory had always been calling Alex âMisterâ. No matter how
much he tried to correct her, she seemed to have been completely brainwashed by that big family. She
continued to abide by conservative ways, unable to receive salvation from the Goddess of Nature.
Even after Alex liberated her, she was still stubborn enough to chain herself to that sinful society.
However, this did not mean she was a fool. From all of Alexâs questions, she was able to knowâ¦
âYouâre right. Iâm not from Magnum City. Iâll tell you where Iâm actually from when the timeâs right,â said
Alex.
âItâ s alright. Iâm your servant now, Mister. I wonât ask any further even if you donât tell me,â replied Dory.
âIntroduce Starborn City to me then!â
âAlright, Mister! Starborn City is one of the nine cities that the Plenilune Sect is in charge of. There isnât
much spiritual energy here, and itâs the least powerful city within the nine. It bustles with trade and
businesses. Thatâs because all nine cities are connected to this oneâ¦â)
They continued on, with Dory briefing Alex on every area.
Although the sky was turning dark, the streets were filled with light. In an instant, it felt as if they were in
a dream.
âThis⦠this is a whole light show!â
âItâs even better than where Iâm from!â
Alex was extremely shocked. A vies as thus was ten times more stunning than Michiganâs flourishing
nightlife. The lights werenât ordinary lights but spiritual lights that could morph in various ways. Some
decorations were glowing, alien demon bugs, filling the streets in their own unique lights.
âMister, do you know why this place is called Starborn City? Because this city had always shined
brighter than the stars above. Itâs a city that never sleeps.â
Alex nodded.
After walking for quite a while, they realized that the area was starting to get really crowded. Couples
were going on dates, while many others were shopping in the area.
âItâs usually quite hot during the day since the sun would always be blazing. So everyone stays at home
at that time. But itâs different at night. People come out for walks and shop when the moon rises. If you
think the city is deserted in the day, youâre in for a show when it comes to the night.â
This was what theyâd call âpacked like sardines in a canâ.
Stores of all manner of business lined the streets, including boutiques, snacks, arsenals, and
pharmacies. Dory pointed towards a tower in front of them. âThatâs the Alchemist Angel Tower that the
lady was managing. The business is pretty good, they mainly sell blood energy pills. But itâs impossible
for them to have Misterâs rejuvenation pills or limit-breaking pills. A limit- breaking pill is worth a billion
spiritual stones here! Mister, you couldâve bought me ten thousand times.â
âWhat? A billion spiritual stones?â
